"Being a comic drag queen, I was absolutely thrilled to have discovered works by Miss Wallis nearly two years ago. I own several of her LP's and a few 78's... This CD was a delight to find -- recordings without the crackle. However, for "the best" album, I feel that it really runs short of highlighting some brilliant songs she's done.These are studio recordings -- showing off her clear voice -- and all have incredible orchestration. This is really a must-have...Feel free to contact me with any questions.... Thanks!"
Double Entendre Aplenty

"I first head Ruth Wallis on the Dr. Demento show singing a song about Davy's Dinghy (it shows up in a number of songs). Recently I found this CD and decided to give it a try. I am very pleased.Clear singing, good humor, excellent musicians all combine to create music you would listen to even if you weren't in it for the lyrics. The lyrics themselves are full of innuendo, suggestion and double entendres to beat the band. All together it makes for an excellent album that is fun to listen to over and over again."

"Ruth Wallis was known as the saucy singer of the late 1950's and early 1960's. She, along witht he likes of Rusty Warren and Terri O'Mason, established the good cheer in adult fun. These songs prove she is a great songwriter as well. I am most interested in communicating with other Rulth Wallis fans. (jsapub@aol.com) Is she still alive and well? Ruth, where are you now?"

"After winning tickets to go see the off-Broadway show "Boobs: the Musical", I was thrilled. Truly a great musical. Shortly afterwards, Ive searched for any Ruth Wallis CDs in major record stores and came up dry. Luckily, I found this great CD on amazon.com. I hope her other tracks will soon be released on CD."
